What is going to happen with the Mueller investigation??
Will Donald Trump be subpoenaed to testify before a Grand Jury? Or will he agree to be interviewed by Robert Mueller? Or will Robert Mueller indict him for crimes and conspiracy against the United States?
Or will he end up being an "un-indicted co-conspirator"?
Or will it all end where it is today, with a few guilty pleas and a few indictments, but nothing much further than what we already know?
If Trump is not charged with anything, will there be marching in the streets? After the marching in the streets, what then?
Can anyone predict where this investigation is going?

(52,572 posts)the sealed indictment would be unsealed as soon as he is no longer president.
congress will be notified of the charges, and it will be up to them to impeach or not and remove or not.
i think we still need something even more outrageous(!) in order to get enough republicans in the senate to remove, and if we don't have those votes, i don't think even a democratic house would bother to impeach.
i'm hoping there are tapes, something with donnie's voice, that's really beyond the pale. though what constitutes "beyond the pale" for today's republicans, i don't know....

That is another option, I suppose?

(6,378 posts)Muellers investigstion concludes and shows pretty damning evidence of both collusion and obstruction. Multiple people further down on the chain fall on their sword for Trump and go to jail.
Dems win back the House convincingly, but choose not to impeach because Republicans in the Senate make it clear they arent going to vote for removal. Trump and his family are largely untouched. But burdened by all the allegations and problems from the investigation, the 2020 Democratic nominee (my personal hopes are for Booker) defeats Trump in the election, sealing Trumps legacy as a one term president whos time in office was marred by nonstop scandals.

(67,112 posts)the future. If the GOP still rules congress after 2018 IMO nothing will happen. This ass in the WH destroys everything and just rides along unscathed. The GOP is so bad even republicans are leaving it. ... and much of the populace is outright ignorant and stupid.
